Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 He is scheduled to visit Buffalo tomorrow 262082[/snapback] If the Bills can sign this guy, THEY SHOULD. I've had the chance to see more than my fair share of Iggle games and this guy tears it UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I saw this somewhere yesterday. But won't he be pretty expensive, especially for a guard? I know Andruzzi signed cheap, but I think Mayberry is looking for close to Wahle numbers. Plus he is kind of old 32 or 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, If we arent willing to blow almost all our cap cash on a big LT trade and then fill our G need with our top draft pick, we better use our cap cash on some bigger name players! This team is a few studs out of the the playoffs and beyond. More for less, we be less for the Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I see us getting a 3rd QB in the draft, later rounds We probably draft our backup RB (GORE) in the 4th round or so We still need a solid TE We may need a kicker We need a LG and LT We need a #2 corner, IMHO We probably draft another DT We may need another WR depending on Reed and Aiken We need LB depth seriously (either FA or high draft picks) With 2 safeties likely gone we need one. We are a long way from a solid team. With only about 5 million in real FA money, then yes, let's not blow it all on 1 left guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 4 million per. Again we don't have the cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again we don't have the cap space. 262102[/snapback] Rivera got a $9MM signing bonus, so his cap for '05 is likely to be in the $3MM range, but does seem rich for us. I have no problems with old guys costing us $1MM/yr under McNally's tutelage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if we were still hauling around the 2. whatever mill we saved?!?! 262104[/snapback] I do think a deal get's done for Shelton. I just don't think it involves Henry. The problem there is he is a straight salary of 3 mill for 4 more years. That is a big chunk of our cap space. They are going to need to clear some more up (Prioleau, Wire, and Henry). Maybe force Williams to restructure. No I don't believe we saved anything with Drew being cut. Sure it saved 2 million now on the cap, but we need a solid backup QB, and guess what that is probably going to take most of the 2 million to do so.

That leaves 1 spot, LT to spend your coin on. If you want to spend you rmoney on a LG and then draft a T, hey fine. See my stolen post above, the guy really makes the point.

Have you looked at what starting LT's get paid? Sorry man, but inflation has happened I feel like your stuck in the 1997 salary cap year with you rnumbers.

Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 He's 32 and is getting slower. He's a one year fix at best so if he's cheap I'm all for it. It certianly seems like we're going to address LG via the draft at this point with only Garza and DeMulling the only G's out there with upside.

You need more than 1 backup running back, you also need someone who can start 3 or 4 games (Williams is a nice changeup but can't start) Campbell is hurt and if rumor are correct may miss half the season Nuge will be gone late first early 2nd I would not start on rookie even at guard Mcgee is a good nickle, I do not like him starting WR - agreed LB - you can get one solid one in the draft, but we probably need 2 (there are only so many 2nd and 3rd round picks that we get) Agreed safety can come from draft - not sure about 6th round though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have 5 million and use 3 on a LT, we have 2 million to sign a lot of other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
